BMS demands equal pay for equal work
Imphal, July 14: Highlighting the poor status of the workers
under Anganwadi Centre, Mid-Day Meal, SSA, NHRM and other Centrally sponsored
schemes, N Tomba Singh, National Secretary of Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) has
urged the authorities concerned to regard them as employee of government and
provide salary in tune with their work.
Those workers who are engaging to impart education and improve health of the people have no other service opportunities like honorarium, perks, job security, etc. Contrary to the provision for equality among all and equal pay for equal work which are guaranteed under the Indian constitution, Anganwadi workers/helpes, ASHAs and other such employees under centrally sponsored schemes are receiving a paltry amount as salary, which is not in tune to changing time when the prices essential commodities have skyrocketed. Besides they are not entitling to pension and other post retirement benefits, Tomba stated.
He went on to point out that payment of salary to Anganwadi workers is not regularly; while ASHAs who are engaged for around 8-9 hours in hospital are regarded as volunteers and given paltry amount. Moreover, workers engaged under mid day meal are made to in schools for whole day. But they are not salary at par with regular teachers.
While appealing to the state government to provide better facilities and opportunities to such workers in Manipur, Tomba pointed out that an Anganwadi helper and worker in state like Tamil Nadu receive around Rs 13-14 thousand and Rs 16-17 thousand per month respectively. In order to fulfil the objectives of Child Development and of Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme, honorarium for Anganwadi workers and helpers have been increased. Apart from 180 maternity and 20 days casual leaves, some States have also given post retirement benefits to such workers.

Anganwadi workers, helpers unpaid for 14
months Minister assures five months’ honorarium
IMPHAL, Jul 14 : Social
Welfare Minister AK Mirabai has assured that five months’ honorarium for
Anganwadi workers, helpers and subordinate staff would be paid soon even if all
the backlog for 14 months’ honorarium cannot be paid.
The Minister also
appealed to all Anganwadi workers and helpers not to take recourse to any form
of agitation.
Speaking to media
persons on media reports about pending honorarium for Anganwadi workers and
helpers, Mirabai stated that pending honorarium for workers, helpers and
subordinate staff appointed under ICDS project was the first major issue she
encountered after she assumed the charge of Social Welfare Minister.
On enquiry, it was found
that payment of honorarium ran into backlog since 2007-08 and it accumulated to
14 months now.
The project was earlier
funded by the Centre 100 per cent. But today, the Centre and the States are
jointly funding the project at the ratio of 90:10.
Conceding that there
were certain lapses and delay in sending utilisation certificates of the
project, Mirabai said that the Centre did not release the full amount of its
share which was done every three months. As a result, the department could not
pay honorarium regularly.
Informing that Rs
6,11,32,996 is spent every month in paying honorarium to Anganwadi workers,
helpers and subordinate staff, the Minister conveyed that the Centre has
released the first instalment of Rs 14,81,83,000 for the first three months of
2013-14 and the same amount has been released to CDPOs.
The second instalment of
Rs 11,85,14,000 for the next two months has also been sanctioned and the
department is awaiting release by Finance Department.
For 2012-13, the Centre
is yet to release Rs 45,27,79,968 and there is a backlog of Rs 7,22,56,370 out
of the State’s share.
While the department is
urging the State Government to release the backlog amount, the Principal
Secretary (Social Welfare) is currently stationed at Delhi to lobby with the
Union Government to release its backlog share.
The Principal Secretary
would be joined by the Social Welfare Director tomorrow.
Talking about old age
pension, 82 per cent of the pensioners have opened their bank accounts and
pension amounts for those who have already opened their bank accounts have been
transferred to the bank.
Expressing serious
concern over the rising cases of crimes against women, Mirabai noted that the
frequent cases of rape has become a major social issue in the State.
To help rape victims
rehabilitate, some amounts have been incorporated in the budget and the
Government started providing monetary assistance to the victims since 2011-12.
Moreover, the department has launched awareness programmes aimed at checking
crimes against women.
During 2011-12, the
Government provided monetary assistance to four rape victims. Arrangements have
been made to extend similar assistance to 12 rape victims for the year 2012-13.
Noting that Court has
awarded befitting punishment to all the culprits involved in raping a chilli
(U-Morok) trader, AK Mirabai said that his particular case would teach a lesson
to all potential rapists and bring down rape cases in the State.
If the district level
committed head by the DC as chairman receives application and the committee
makes due recommendation, rape victims would given monetary assistance of Rs
40,000. The Government has earmarked Rs five lakhs in the annual budget of
2013-14 for providing monetary assistance to rape victims.
With regard to the issue
of child trafficking, the Social Welfare Minister opined that parents,
particularly those living in remote areas send their children outside the State
for better education as education sector in these areas remains backward.
To check child
trafficking, the department has initiated necessary procedures to set up
100-bedded children homes under SPA and NLCPR in each and every district of
Manipur, she added.

‘Honorariums of five months to be cleared for
employees under ICDS’
Social
Welfare AK Mirabai said that the department is ready to give out all the
back-logged honorariums of the employees and Anganwadi workers and helpers
under Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS).
Speaking to
mediapersons at her official bungalow at Sanjenthong, the Minister that the
ICDS scheme was carried out with 90 per cent Central-funding and 10 per cent
state share since 2007-08 even though the Centre fully funded the scheme before
that. After 2007-08, she said many factors like inability to give timely
utilisation certificate, irregular funding from the Central government and the
inability of the state to produce its share of funds have resulted in debt.
Consequently,
the honorarium of Anganwadi workers, helpers and employees of ICDS could not be
delivered for 14 months, she informed. Minister AK Mirabai assured that the
department, is now ready to clear honorarium of five months to the
employees.
She further
added that ever since she became the Social Welfare minister, she started
monitoring the reasons for the debt. She further admitted that the inability to
give out honorarium since May this year is due to the debt faced by the
department earlier.
“Relief
came though as the State Finance Department has sanctioned Rs 14.81 crores for
the scheme as first instalment. Moreover, for the second instalment amount of
Rs 11.85 crores, the department has only to get the encashment permission from
the Finance Department. With these two amounts, the salaries of the ICDS
employees and honorarium of the Anganwadi workers and helpers will be cleared
out”, she said.
Informing
that at present, the department requires a monthly amount of Rs 6.11 crores for
ICDS, she revealed for the year 2012-2013, the back-logged amount is Rs 45.27
crores.
The state,
Mirabai said, has to produce Rs 7.22 crores. She further informed that
the Principal Secretary of the department is in Delhi to persuade the Ministry
to further release of funds for ICDS project implementation and that the
Director of the department also go to Delhi soon to make for the same demand.
Minister
Mirabai also highlighted the plan of the department to fill the various
shortages faced by the Anganwadi centres. She appealed all the employees of
ICDS, Anganwadi workers and helpers to understand the efforts of the department
and not to resort to any form of protests.
Commenting
on the pensions given to old-age pensioners in the state, the minister said
that 82 per cent of the pensioners have successfully opened their account and
have withdrawn their amounts. The rest of the 18 per cent of the pensioners are
also instructed to open their accounts with the help of District Social Welfare
Officers and bank officials.
Terming the
frequent occurrence of crimes against women and children in Manipur as very
‘unfortunate’, she revealed that the department is planning to spread awareness
programs to the public in association with the department officials and the
NGOs to stop such incidents. “Furthermore, the under the recommendation of the
District Level Committees chaired by the DCs, the department has started
providing financial assistance to rape victims.
In 2012,
four rape victims have been given this assistance. For the current year also,
the department is processing to deliver this assistance to 12 rape victims”,
she said.
Identifying
lack of proper education facilities in the hilly areas of the state as the
major reason for child-trafficking in other states, The Minister talked about
the plan of the Social Welfare department to construct a children home in each
districts of the state.
Minister
Mirabai also stated that the main responsibility of the department is to save
children from following wrong paths and to support them.

The
Voiceless Speaks:: AN AILING ICDS IN MANIPUR
How can a malnourished Scheme nourish
the children of Manipur?
The flagship schemes of government of India are worthy
of applause in terms of their provisions on papers. However, they are always
sick at the implementation stage. This has been proved by the findings of a
survey recently conducted by Manipur Alliance for Child Rights in seven
districts of Manipur. Integrated Child Development schemes (ICDS) in Manipur is
far from attaining desired results due to apathy of state government. ICD
Scheme in Manipur needs to be nourished well, before it nourishes the millions
of under nourished children of the state.
Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) was introduced in
Manipur on 2nd October 1975 as a pilot project in Ukhrul district. Social
Welfare department is the nodal agency for implementation of the scheme. At
present, the scheme has covered almost all districts of Manipur with around ten
thousand Anganwadi Centres. Objective of ICDS is to improve the nutritional and
health status of children below 6 years of age. Besides caring for proper
psychological, social and physical development of children, ICDS aims to reduce
the mortality, morbidity, malnutrition and school drop-outs among children.
ICDS services are delivered through Angawadi centres established in villages
and run by a worker and a helper. All children, pregnant women and lactating
mothers covered under an Angawadi Centre are provided supplementary nutrition
21 days a month. Those suffering from severe malnutrition are to be provided
special supplementary nutrition and referral services. Although the scheme
appears to be all-inclusive and beneficial to the millions of poor mothers and
children of the country, the programme lacks proper implementation to reach the
intended targets.
The Manipur Alliance for Child Rights (MACR) recently conducted
a survey to assess the working of the Angawadi Centres of the state and
produced a report along with recommendations for improvement in the scheme’s
implementation. The fifty-four page survey report published with support of
Child Rights and You (CRY), Kolkata is indeed an apocalypse of how the
Social Welfare department of Manipur has been implementing the programme during
the last 37 years. Had the implementing agency been sincere enough in carrying
out the programmes, the children of the state would not be where they are
today.
ICDS has now covered nine Community Development Blocks, 32
Tribal Development Blocks and one Urban centre of Manipur. Total number of
active Angawadi Centres by October last year is 9795 providing services to
1,76,437 children below 3 years and 1,79,287 children of 3-6 years. 74,287 pregnant
women and lactating mothers are being served by these Centres. Regular health
check-ups and immunization are important components of the scheme. Four
Anganwadi Workers Training Centres run by government and non-government
agencies are regularly imparting trainings to the hundred of Anganwadi workers.
The survey report amazingly depicts that only a little more than
half of the Anganwadi centres (56.25%) are providing supplementary nutrition
regularly, while remaining centres are giving food on intervals. Around 69
percent of the centres surveyed provide quality food, while around 28 percent
of the centres are not availing of quality food. 2.5 percent of the respondent
centres are getting very poor quality food from the state government. The
report says that only 10 percent of the centres surveyed retain the children
for four hours, while around 9 percent of the centres keep children for only
half an hour. Hot cooked meal is not provided in 10 percent of the Centres
surveyed, while parents collect the food from another 10 percent of the
centres. There are also Centres distributing food items at the doorsteps of the
children. 10 percent of the Anganwadi centres are not having playing materials
for the children and only 50 percent of the centres conduct regular health
check-ups. Only around 17 percent of the respondent Centres reported
involvement of community leaders in monitoring the centres and engaging with
workers. The payment of staff honorarium is so irregular that only 7.5 centres
reported regular receipt of their honorarium. Majority of Angawadi centres have
the complaints of irregular distribution of ration, while most of them
themselves are reportedly bearing the transport expenses of foodgrains. Lack of
proper infrastructure including sheds and kitchens features in many Angawadi
Centres surveyed by the agency.
Manipur Alliance for Child Rights (MACR), which has been
actively working in the field of child rights preservation in Manipur and which
is the only agency to successfully sensitize on this issue in the state, has
put up 17 point recommendations to the government. The state government needs
to properly the monitor the infrastructural facilities including kitchens of
the Angawadi centres in Manipur. Active sensitization and involvement of local
leaders, community leaders, civil organizations, educationists, parents and
guardians in the implementation of ICDS programmes are highly called for in
order to nourish the intended children and mothers. Children with HIV and with
special needs are to be encouraged to join Angawadi centres to avail of
services just like normal children. The state social welfare department needs
to channelize the working its huge staff recruited for the scheme.
VOICE OF THE WEEK ________________
Now as the central government is all set to implement another
flagship programme for providing food security to the poor families under the
food security act, it must well be remembered that the children of the country
have already been provided the food security under the ICDS programme and the
Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan. The only concern is improper implementation of such
schemes at the grassroots level.

‘Due salary for Anganwadi workers to be
released’
HNS/Imphal, July 14: In addition to releasing five months’ due
salary of Supervisors, Anganwadi workers and helpers under ICDS project, the
infrastructures of Anganwadi Centres will be developed, Social Welfare Minister
AK Mirabai has assured. Addressing media persons in this regard, Minister Ak
Mirabai stated that 14 months’ salary of the employees working under ICDS
project including Anganwadi workers and helpers has not been released till
today and this is because of financial backlog during the period of 2007-08.
The Minister disclosed that the total amount to be given as monthly salary to employees under ICDS project comes to around Rs 6,11,32,996. Ninety percent of the whole amount is borne by the Centre while the remaining ten prevent by the State Government. The fund from the Centre is released after every three months. But the Centre sometimes doesn’t release the amount in full. For the financial year 2013-14, the Centre sanctioned an amount of over Rs 14 crores as first installment which was released through CDPOs. From this amount, three months’ salary of the Supervisors, Anganwadi workers and helpers can be given out. For the second investment as well, the Centre released over Rs 11 crores and with this amount another two months’ salary can be given to the Supervisors, Anganwadi workers and helpers. So, five months’ due salary can be paid off in ease.
The backlog amount, which is still to be cleared, from the side of the Central Government comes to around Rs 45,27,79,968 and another Rs 7,22,50,370 as share from the State Government. Not to create any backlog and to ensure proper implementation of ICDS project in the State, the Principal Secretary of Social Welfare Department left for Delhi to meet the officials of Social Welfare Ministry. The Director of Social Welfare Department will also be heading to Delhi very soon in this regard, the Minister informed.
Minister AK Mirabai also assured that the existing infrastructures of the Anganwadi Centres will also be developed very soon. “So, all the anganwadi workers and helpers are requested to give cooperation to the State Government in taking up the developmental works”, the Minister appealed.
She also appealed to the anganwadi workers and helpers not to launch any agitation which could hamper smooth implementation of ICDS project in the State. Expressing concern over rising cases of rape and assault in the State, the Minister stated that awareness programme in this regard will be taken up in collaboration with NGOs very soon.

Editorials
The Editor Speaks
Making a mess of the ICDS Pathetic figure
of 25 pc
Disgusting and
disturbing. And not surprising too, for inefficiency, lethargy and ineptness
have been the defining characteristics of almost anything that has got to do
with the Government of Manipur. Only 25 pc Anganwadi Centres functioning out of
Government buildings out of 80 such centres selected randomly across the State
and the picture should become clear. Will not be surprising if the figure shoot
ups drastically if all the 9795 Anganwadi Centres are to be inspected. In all
likelihood, the rest, that is those outside the 25 pc of the 80 Centres
inspected, may not have any structure as such. Spread the net a little wider,
let the inspection cover the hills and the remote areas and the situation can only
be imagined. Complements well with the manner in which the Integrated Child
Development Scheme, which is synonymous with Anganwadi Centres finds itself in
a mess today. Workers and helpers not paid for 14 months. A mere look at this
may not come as such a shocker, but view it in the backdrop of the fact that 90
percent of the honorarium to be paid to the workers and the helpers are borne
by the Centre and it becomes all that more bitter and unacceptable. Maybe, the
people responsible for looking after the ICDS and the functioning of the
Anganwadi Centres need a refresher course or better still, a major shake up may
just go some way in dealing with the issue. It is much more than the lack of
Government structures or workers and helpers not being paid for months on end,
but is a reflection of the Government’s devil may care attitude towards young
children and young mothers. A state of affairs, which clearly says, damn the
children of the poorer section of society. Responsibilities should be fixed.
This is not the time to take cover under official speak such as the Finance
Department or other departments not releasing the fund or not fulfilling their
part of the deal. Maybe a thorough shake up of the State Social Welfare
Department may just be what the doctors would prescribe. The spin wizards, who
have perfected the art of passing the buck and in the process made a mockery of
a scheme for young children like the ICDS have no business to be lording over
the affairs of this crucial department.
Dealing with issues
concerning children and young mothers is something very different from pushing
files and organising seminars and awareness programmes on paper. This is the
one line statement that should be grilled into the heads of the people helming
the affairs of the Social Welfare Department. Providing nutritious food to
young children should be seen beyond the mere understanding of feeding a group
of young children for the day. It is about ensuring a healthy, young
generation. The findings of the survey conducted by an independent agency tells
a grim story. Out of the 80 Centres surveyed and studied it was found that only
37 centres have been providing supplementary nutritional food to children
regularly while in 31 percent of the Anganwadi Centres studied, nutritional
food is not at all available. Lack of funds ? Sounds more like a case of the
funds lining the pockets of the suited, booted officials and their political
masters. If this is how schemes, that too taken up under the initiatives of the
Centre for young children and young mothers, are being rubbished, then one can
only imagine the overall state of affairs in the other schemes taken up at the
instance of Delhi here. To be sure, the State Government or more specifically
the department concerned here would not respond to the findings furnished by
the agency nor give a coherent explanation on why the honorariums of workers
and helpers of Anganwadi Centres have not been paid for 14 months. Where is the
money released by the Centre to meet the payments of the workers and helpers
gone ? At the best one may expect official statements, which hide and confuse
the people more rather than throw any light on the matter.
